pretty Peter Avalon, and I am so

23
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,439
grateful to have Peter on my podcast. I said this to him privately,

24
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:57,000
I will say it publicly. He
is one of the most underrated and underappreciated

25
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,200
wrestlers on the scene to day.
He's what you would call a wrestlers wrestler.

26
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:07,719
Us the wrestlers in the back.
We always love what Peter does,

27
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:12,400
how he performs, and sometimes you
know, it takes a classically trained pro

28
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:16,680
wrestler to kind of understand the little
things or the nuances, but we see

29
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,759
it and we appreciate it, and
I appreciate Peter coming on the show.

30
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:27,560
There's a couple of really key points
or things that I'd like to point out

31
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,840
about this talk. So we did
this podcast in August. We did it

32
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,199
in Cologne, Germany, when I
went with a crew of wrestlers to promote

33
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:40,840
AW Video Games. Actually, I'm
gonna shout out the crew. It was

34
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,879
me Uno and Hellico, Peter,
Chris Daniels, and referee Rick Knox,

35
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:52,919
along with some like the business people
of AW Games like THHQ and some the

36
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:59,560
AW marketing team, and well,
a lot has happened since this podcast we

37
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:05,599
did in my life personally and professionally. Amazingly enough, at the start of

38
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:08,719
the talk that I did with Peter, we kind of just started talking about

39
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,520
anxiety and mental health. And this
episode was supposed to come out in early

40
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,879
September, and honestly, I just
haven't been able to want to talk about

41
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:27,360
anything, so I just kind of
delayed everything and I told Peter and he

42
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:31,199
was more than okay with it,
obviously. And I didn't delay it because

43
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,599
the company that I worked for like
told me not to talk about anything or

44
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:38,960
what I could or could not do, just kind of where my brain was

45
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,560
at, you know. I started
the podcast in two ten and we don't

46
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,680
go every week now, but I
like to put out shows occasionally spot letting

47
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,719
my friends or people that I find
super interesting. And from the beginning,

48
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,919
you know, I was so open, maybe even to a fault, about

49
00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:02,599
dealing with losing my dream job of
THEWE or fighting to be an independent wrestler,

50
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,240
or how to make money in wrestling, or how to survive a lot

51
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,879
of things that I was very open
about. And I knew I made fans

52
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:15,279
for life, which is I assumed
you people listening to the show right now

53
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:21,000
because of my ability to be candid
and real. And as I think about

54
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,040
it and as I did it,
there was really two things that I just

55
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,959
kind of never touched. You know. It's a wall or a barrier,

56
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,680
or I'm good at compartmentalizing, which
I know I am, but and I'm

57
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,639
not there yet, nor may I
ever be. But a lot of you

58
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,519
probably notice I never really talked about
significant others. I never really talked about

59
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:46,319
my relationships, which was kind of
fun to hear people guess about my sexuality

60
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,800
over the years, or my lifestyle
or how I conducted myself. But that

61
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:56,759
side of life was just something I
didn't want to talk about, nor do

62
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,839
I want to talk about, and
maybe that's stuff to work on. And

63
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,480
the other one is well, you
know, kind of what's been going on.

64
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:09,800
I've been in the news, you
know, whether it's now or for

65
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,800
the past whatever years it's been.
I think the closest that you'll ever hear

66
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,399
me touch upon it was on an
episode of the Art of Wrestling called The

67
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,639
Trial, which is where I documented
all of my feelings while I was going

68
00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:29,439
through the trial in which the WWE
doctors sued me in a court of law

69
00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:34,920
and lost. And so Peter talks
about or brings up mental health and anxiety,

70
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,079
and looking back to the conversation with
Peter, I noticed that I jumped

71
00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:45,199
right on it, and I feel
that's desperation to connect with a wrestler on

72
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:51,000
a deeper level than ever before,
especially at that time when I was feeling

73
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,160
a lot of feelings. I mean, I'm always feeling a lot of feelings,

74
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:57,879
including now, but it was definitely
prevalent at the time of this talk.

75
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:00,839
And if you go back and you
listen to the Trial episode, and

76
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:05,959
I haven't, but I remember it
very well, I recognized now the feelings

77
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:13,040
that I had were the feelings of
debilitating anxiety. At the time, I

78
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,759
said, it was like a sign
that I was alive and I loved it

79
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,600
because I was feeling feelings that I
had never felt befored and meant that I

80
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:23,199
was going through something and that's part
of life. And I was feeling those

81
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:29,920
because the trial and everything was traumatic, more traumatic than anything I've ever been

82
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:33,199
through, and I was in the
eye of the hurricane. I was in

83
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:36,279
the middle of it. A couple
of years ago, I seeked help.

84
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,959
I got help in many different ways. A while back, I started seeing

85
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:47,360
a professional. Many of you have
noted my silence publicly with all that's been

86
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:56,199
going on with me, and that's
because I'm working on myself privately, and

87
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,160
I'm not gonna say it's amazing or
cured. It'll probably take years or decades.

88
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:06,800
Maybe I'll never fully healed or understand
what my head and heart and feelings

89
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,600
are going through. But like the
great Cody Rhodes once said, do the

90
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,279
work. I'm doing the work,
and I'm not here to bash anyone or

91
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:20,360
take shots at anyone. And I've
learned that there is no right or wrong.

92
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:27,839
I can't control what I can't control. I'm trying to understand why I

93
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,399
do things that I do and how
I can control my feelings and only my

94
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:40,360
feelings and try to become a better
person. So I command Peter for talking

95
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:44,079
with me about it. The whole
thing isn't strictly about this, but it's

96
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,959
kind of the start of it.
He didn't have to do it. I

97
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,079
appreciate his ability to be candid,
and I appreciate you, the wrestling fan

98
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:56,720
who seem to understand. I mean, my Twitter has been a wild shit

99
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,639
show, and it's crazy how some
people feel that their tweets towards you are

100
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,000
like an acceptable move in life,
like you're allowed to do that. But

101
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,240
I've also been really good about not
letting that affect me and also realizing that

102
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:13,920
whoever is tweeting this there, you're
not a real human being, Like I

103
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,920
guess you have a lot of work
to do. And here's some good advice.

104
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:22,079
If you ever have people going after
you on Twitter, some more than

105
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,879
others, just go to that person's
account and then look at their tweets and

106
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,159
you realize this is a them problem
and not a you problem. So that

107
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,320
all goes into doing the work.
And I don't know if that made any

108
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,360
clarity, but maybe you got a
better idea of what I'm going through and

109
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,639
that I'm going through it, and
also maybe when I'm at a convention,

110
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,679
you know, there's certain stuff you
don't want to bring up. I think

111
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,639
I've said that forever. You know, I always love talking to people,

112
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,679
and I love talking wrestling, I
love talking shop. But then once you

113
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:03,240
bring up some stuff that has been
traumatic for me over years, I shut

114
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:07,559
down. And then you read on
a message board somewhere, how cool to

115
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:13,840
dick and again trying not to read
that. But sometimes stuff takes over the

116
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,480
Internet, and then I mean,
it's happening, It's happened, it will

117
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,600
continue to happen. Before all of
this went down, you know, I

118
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,279
like a hustling businessman that I am. I was trying to set up my

119
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,840
future in case my contract didn't get
rolled over. I had seen it almost

120
00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:35,799
happened to me before. And then, you know, I resigned a new

121
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,720
contract. But I was kind of
unsure of my future, so I partnered

122
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:43,080
with a company called Whatnot. And
this is not an ad, This is

123
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,600
just something that I'm doing. The
ads will come later. I'm assuming I'm

124
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,840
still going to have a job with
my employer. But the great thing about

125
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:54,080
AW is that we're allowed to work
on ourselves and our businesses outside the company,

126
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:58,120
so Pro Wrestling Teas and I are
still doing Whatnot. I host it.

127
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:01,799
I bring some items on from my
closet over the years, and then

128
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,039
PWT they also have so many things
from the warehouse over the years. It's

129
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:11,159
like kind of QVC meets eBay fast
auction style shopping. And we're going to

130
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,120
do a live one from aew from
the arena in Chicago in the building with

131
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,360
wrestlers selling their gear and exclusives.
It's so much fun. Join us once

132
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:24,240
a week. It's usually Wednesdays,
sometimes it's Tuesdays if I end up going

133
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:30,679
to work on Wednesdays. It's on
an app called Whatnot or Pwtlive dot com

134
00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:33,960
is a site that we may that
will lead you to there. I wanted

135
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,399
to promote this Whatnot thing that we're
doing. And I probably have so much

136
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,159
more to talk about, returning to
Dynamite, doing the fringe, playing Fortnite

137
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:46,279
with Kip on Twitch, all the
fun stuff that I usually talk about before

138
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,679
the podcast, But we'll do that
next week. I got an episode next

139
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:56,080
week coming to another Friend, another
great talk, so stick around next week

140
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,840
for that one too. But I
feel talking about my brain was enough for

141
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:03,720
you this week, and definitely enough
for me. Before we get into the

142
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:07,799
talk with Peter, I do want
to talk about sponsors this week, Manscaped

143
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,720
and the performance package four point oh. Manscaped is the leader in below the

144
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:16,399
waste grooming, and they have asked
me to say something about using the code

145
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:22,559
cult getting twenty percent off and free
shipping when trimming your pumpkins, which I

146
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,559
guess can relate to both Halloween and
Thanksgiving. But I'm going to stay away

147
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,399
from the ball humor. You get
the idea. I definitely use Manscaped.

148
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,200
I've been man trimming ever since I
got into wrestling. I think it's the

149
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,799
only thing that wrestling was ahead of
the curve on, and when society started

150
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,440
to pick up on it, I
did feel cool in some weird way that

151

162
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,919

163
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,799

And have you been out of the country.

164
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:39,720
Yeah, I'm into China. Yeah, and to China and Mexico.

165
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:45,279
Those that's how the international has off
going. What's your China Middle Kingdom Wrestling?

166
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,600
I was out there helping in produce
the show and to produce the Battle

167
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,120
Royal that we had as the main
event. It was me Zeta Zang Raylan.

168
00:12:56,159 --> 00:12:58,480
We were all out there together for
about a week. Was this one

169
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,879
aid started and they went by China? I'm not sure it was not with

170
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,759
aw you just went separately. It
was separately, Yeah, that he was

171
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,159
working with us through a championship rustling
from Hollywood and then he was doing his

172
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,480
own separate thing. Okay. Yeah, it was pretty cool and then hold

173
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:16,120
on. So, so you went
out to produce what to produce the show

174
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,559
and to produce a show or like
they have a they have that's a name

175
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,840
I've heard of the Middle Kingdom.
Yeah. Right, they've been trying to

176
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,159
make their their show in China.
I think they were trying to do everything

177
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,720
monthly and it was just I guess
my turn. They wanted me to help

178
00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:31,360
produce the show and try to you
know, elevate it. Yeah, the

179
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:35,120
appearance of it like they did with
Championship Rusting from Hollywood and and Championship Russ

180
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,519
of Arizona and you, and that's
it. I'm a man, I'm the

181
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,200
man for your job. That was
it. So it was nice. Did

182
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,360
you wrestle out there? I did. I also wrestled. I was featured

183
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:48,519
heavily in the Battle Royal. I
came down to me and Zombie Dragon,

184
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,799
who's one of their main guys out
there, and he beat me at the

185
00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,039
last two. You know, I
especially for you as a Los Angeles person,

186
00:13:54,159 --> 00:14:00,360
you would think we had enough dragons. You'd think with Super and American.

187
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,639
I think that was a running joke
for many years, right to the

188
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,399
point that there was a dragon Dragon
in Chicara. Yeah, and uh,

189
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,039
we might as well add the zombie
to it, might as well the dead

190
00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:13,320
one. And what was Mexico or
you know, being friends with Rocky Romero

191
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,639
for so many years, you just
learned that every Los Angeles wrestler that's good

192
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,080
like wrestles in Mexico. Right,
Yeah, it's nearby. Might as well?

193
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:24,159
Is that a thing? So when
you say Mexico, do you do

194
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:30,000
you mean Tijuana Ja. That's one
of time three hour drive maximum, I

195
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,080
think yeah. And then you work
at the the TJ Arena down there,

196
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,480
it's Big Pact Arena, and uh
it's me and Ray Ross against Yuma and

197
00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:41,960
at the time Johnny good Time.
Now Kevin Martinson. So he has changed

198
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:43,960
his name. Yep. Oh,
so I didn't mean to out him.

199
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,360
I didn't know. If I don't
keep up with the product. Well,

200
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:52,559
good to have you here. It's
been so we've been hanging out in Germany

201
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,360
being German goop balls. It's nice
that like we just get sent here from

202
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:01,480
a e W. Everything's kind of
take can care of. I guess this

203
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:03,919
is the better part of the job. Yeah, this has been my favorite

204
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,320
trip ever wrestling. Yeah, it's
a good crew here. Yeah, it's

205
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,960
a great crew, good thing,
and I want to touch on that thing.

206
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:11,840
I'm going to edit this if you
don't like it, though, But

207
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,639
you had talked about you've talked about
that anxiety stuff. I don't know if

208
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:20,840
that was just for us or if
that was for oh nah whatever. Yeah,

209
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:24,440
yeah, you mentioned this morning and
again, I you tell me if

210
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,240
you don't want anything in there,
because that's how I run my show.

211
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:30,320
That you were a little anxiety driven, and it's and I only bring that

212
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,440
up just because I think it's good
to talk about because me berstally, when

213
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,759
you said that, I was like, oh what, you know, like

214
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,080
we're wrestlers, were out there,
we're half naked, we're putting ourselves on

215
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,919
the line, and you were like, I got a little anxiety this morning.

216
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,720
Yeah, I could. I consider
myself an introvert. I try to

217
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:52,039
be extroverted a lot of stuff,
but it's an introvert I end up,

218
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:56,519
I kind of meet I will hit
a threshold I guess of socialization. I

219
00:15:56,559 --> 00:16:00,200
guess sometimes and just being around just
mass amounts of people and uh, doing

220
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,279
a lot of my own personal work
over the over the past a few years,

221
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:07,759
with like therapy and stuff like that, trying to I guess put a

222
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,039
put a term to stuff that I'm
feeling, and it's like anxiety was a

223
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,600
big one of them. And uh, I am trying to also finally diagnosed

224
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:22,840
ADHD, so I'm also I'm handling
that I put my I'm on medication.

225
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,440
I was say I put myself on
medication. I did not. I wrote

226
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,039
a script. Yeah, yeah exactly. Now I went to doctor and I'm

227
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:33,799
on medication and everything now uh therapy
and then uh healthy boundaries with with people

228
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:37,879
and family and stuff like that and
just leads to better mental health. Well,

229
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:44,279
I just I say, because we're
wrestlers and we're out there and I'm

230
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:47,360
you know, and we could both
talk about our things because you know I

231
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,080
have that too, and I'm I
found myself and tell me what you think

232
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,519
about Like the I found myself a
little like introverted getting into wrestling. And

233
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,919
then once when you're younger and you're
starting wrestling, you're just like, you'll

234
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,240
do it for me personally, I'll
do anything. Like it was the same.

235
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,440
I became very extroverted. And then
now like years later, I'm reverting

236
00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:11,440
back to that same inch over.
But when the when the light is on,

237
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:15,359
I'll do anything, right. I'm
a maniac, right, like you

238
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:19,039
put a spotlight on me. I
there's something different about that too, because

239
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:22,240
like when you're in the ring up, you're surrounded by the imense amount of

240
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:25,799
people there. They are watching you, but you're not having to like really

241
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:27,079
get to know each and every one
of them. And then like when you

242
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,240
go into back into the back into
the business setting, it's like, I

243
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:33,920
guess the anxiety was also from having
to meet a lot of new executives and

244
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,440
a lot of this and a lot
of new stuff and just I guess all

245
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,759
the new amount of people that I'm
having to meet and then also represent at

246
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:44,720
the same time, aw and all
this it's just you know, a lot,

247
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,240
I guess when you because you've done
a lot of extra work. And

248
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:52,880
I so so lately I found myself
under a lot of anxiety and so I

249
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,359
and I also have been, you
know, seeking help for this. And

250
00:17:56,039 --> 00:18:00,119
I remember, because I've got this
like shock of whatever it is through my

251
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:07,480
body that I I guess you learned
that it's anxiety. But like I'm trying

252
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,079
to think of back to when I
had that kind of anxiety, and it

253
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:14,000
was when I would go to WWE
and do extra work, right, So

254
00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:17,440
I got my question was like were
you were you also in thats when you

255
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:21,160
did that stuff? If by saying
like meeting all these executives, because when

256
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,680
we're in our you know, we're
trying to get a job in our young

257
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:26,440
twenties or whatever it is, it's
like those are all the like the undertaker

258
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:30,640
is the executive, right, Like
everybody is the exact Like luckily you're in

259
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,319
a place now where you're friends with
all the wrestlers, but because there's new

260
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,400
people, but then you're friends with
nobody. It's so anxiety drive absolutely and

261
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,000
then like you're you're younger at that
time, so so you don't really have

262
00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:44,000
you feel an anxiety, but you
don't know how to manage it the right

263
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:45,880
way. So you're just kind of
panicking like, oh my god, don't

264
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,599
fuck it, and you're so.
I for sure it was feeling that then,

265
00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:52,480
but I just didn't know how to
manage it the best way. Now

266
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:56,119
it's like breathing techniques and grounding and
blah blah blah. You know, yeah,

267
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,279
I just I just I don't know. I just it brought me back

268
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,960
to those days of just like how
fucking crazy it was, and nobody And

269
00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:10,440
something I also I've realized is like
nobody knows what you're going through, like

270
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,960
because someone else like said something to
me and they were talking about like that

271
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:15,799
kind of stuff for them, and
I was like, oh, I had

272
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,960
no clue. The same case and
poys, but like I'm a mess and

273
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,519
I feel the same with a lot
of stuff out at hiding. I yes,

274
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,839
And I think that comes with just
the job. You have to you

275
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,720
have to hide certain stuff because you
can't you don't want people looking at you

276
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:33,240
and thinking something, Yeah. I
mean so I kind of comes with it,

277
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:37,759
and I don't know. Yeah,
um okay, So when when you

278
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,160
got into wrestling, were you a
little scared little boy or were you?

279
00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:47,440
Yeah? I was. I had
a what's the word, like a helicopter

280
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:48,519
parents, overbearing parents, you know
what I mean. So it's like I

281
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,880
was kind of kind of sheltered.
I felt barry sheltered. I I went

282
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:53,640
out and I did stuff, I
had friends, but it was a lot

283
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,599
of overbearing, overbearing and sheltered Barry
sheltered. So then finally turn eighteen,

284
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,160
it's one of the things were like
I'm gonna do whatever the hell I want

285
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,640
you know, Uh no, you
can't join wrestling school when you're seventeen,

286
00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:07,880
and I'm eighteen, Like, well
I'm gonna do it. So my eighteenth

287
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,920
birthday, I went in to join
wrestling school and you know, tell me

288
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,759
about how not you're but like,
what does that mean? So you're assume

289
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,319
me from Los Angeles? I've yeah, born and raised in Los Angeles,

290
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:21,599
and it was I commuted to school, to the wrestling school while I was

291
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,640
also full time at university, and
they just they just thought I was wasting

292
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,160
my time. But it's wrestling.
Really. That was I guess, my

293
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:33,680
way to finally take over what is
mine, you know what I mean.

294
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:36,160
It's like instead of having someone else
kind of guiding me, I was like,

295
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,160
I'm taking my own life into my
hands. And and I mean better

296
00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:42,799
or for worse. I turned me
into an outgoing, crazy adult man.

297
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,039
So where in La are you fling? I was born in Burbank. I

298
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:52,200
grew up in Rancho Cucamonga, and
then I lived back in Burbank now but

299
00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:56,960
k fab from Carson City, Nevada. Oh yes, you're from I was,

300
00:20:56,079 --> 00:20:59,839
yeah, I grew up in Rancho
Cucamonga, the home of the Bucks.

301
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,839
Yeah, they were. I think
we went to rival high schools.

302
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,279
They were Alta Loma High School graduates
and I'm Los Olsos High School graduates.

303
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:08,039
I mean, I didn't think it
was a real place until I met the

304
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,759
Bucks. And now all of a
sudden, there's the Bucks, there's Cutler,

305
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,440
there's you there. It's like,
wait, all these people are from

306
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,440
there. Who would have thought that
Rachekukamuka, California as a wrestling town?

307
00:21:17,559 --> 00:21:19,480
Did you know about are you guys
the same agesh Me and Nick Car?

308
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,039
Did you participate in their backyard wrestling? No? I don't. I think

309
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:26,880
they weren't living in Rancho. Maybe
at that time my parents wouldn't let you

310
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,200
know. They might have been in
a high desert and my parents would not.

311
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,839
Yeah. Absolutely. Oh were you
obsessed with wrestling? Once I learned

312
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:40,519
about it in early elementary school,
I immediately was obsessed with it. Yeah,

313
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:45,279
I'm wondering why you didn't find this
backyard group that was putting on like

314
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,000
look, I don't know, I
don't know. Did you read their book

315
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,759
and did you like know there?
I don't want to put your apother book,

316
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,359
but like, was that like a
like was it like, was it.

317
00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:56,960
I don't. I think there was. It just their little bubble or

318
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,160
I think so. Yeah. But
I also I think they were living in

319
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,680
the High Desert at the time Victorville. I don't know the difference. Victorville

320
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,440
is like an hour away from Kukamonga, so I think they might have moved

321
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,480
at the time, but I'm not
one hundred percent sure. Okay, I

322
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,519
just met met a couple of friends
in high school and when I had like

323
00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:12,480
Steve Austin shirts, and I was
like, what is this? You know?

324
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:15,119
And they started telling me and then
I tried to watch and my folks

325
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,440
wouldn't let me watch it, and
then uh, just flipping channels. I

326
00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:23,519
think we were on like a vacation
with some family friends and they had both

327
00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:26,200
they had some sons as well,
and I would hang out with and we

328
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:30,440
were flipping through channels and they came
across Undertaker and Steve Auston fighting. I

329
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,359
said, hey, go back,
and they laughed, were you like this

330
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,079
ship? And I said, yeah, let's turn it back. And I

331
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,720
watched Steve Austin and fight the Undertaker? Is that do you think? Is

332
00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:41,519
that religious? Or like your parents
being like you can't watch wrestling. I

333
00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:45,279
don't know what it is. Like
my mom as a kid was around it

334
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,960
with like her father and and and
her family because they went to the Grand

335
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,799
Olympic. She remember she brought up
the Destroyer to me like that and all

336
00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:56,599
the I love when older people bring
up random like yeah, like in Chicago,

337
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,519
it's like I used to watch Go, used to watch Moose no exactly

338
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,240
that. I was like, oh
shit, you know, but I don't

339
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:07,519
know where the disconnect eventually was.
My my dad grew up watching Luca Libre

340
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,640
and then he told me when he
found out it was fake, it like

341
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:14,880
made him so angry and I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What what what?

342
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:18,319
Huh what? It's what? It's
what? It's what. I didn't hear.

343
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,359
You are both of your parents has
fan just my dad Okay, yeah,

344
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,839
my mom's a white lady. Uh. And did your dad come from

345
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,279
Mexico? He came from Cuba?
Oh shit, yeah, okay, from

346
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,839
about like during the Wars. He
came in the seventies when they were letting

347
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,960
when Castor was letting people go,
so him, my aunt Molly, and

348
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,839
my grandmother and my great grandmother,
they all left with just the clothes on

349
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,759
their backs and came over here and
then eventually ended up in California where my

350
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,039
grandmother, single mom from Cuba,
was raising two children and helping with her

351
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,640
her mother to live in California.
How did they turn it around? Just

352
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,440
hustling, hustling that my my my
dad and my my aunt would work work

353
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:06,319
from a young age to help help
bring home stuff. My dad was telling

354
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,599
him all he's stories that he had
as like a server at like the Bottom

355
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,039
Venture in downtown LA and stuff like
that, and just how much hustling they

356
00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:17,119
would have to do. And then
he eventually got himself into real estate and

357
00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:21,119
he became real good at real estate, and he was able to become a

358
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,240
very successful successful man. He owns
properties. Yeah, he has a family,

359
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,640
you know, his wife and me
a son, and I have a

360
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,519
sister m He now lived own a
property into Mecca and there you could take

361
00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:36,000
very good care of themselves. He's
really an American story, the American dream,

362
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,359
American dream, American story. Have
you ever been back to Cuba?

363
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:41,799
They have? I have not,
are you? I don't know. My

364
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,200
ignorance is very high. But like
we weren't allowed to go to Cuba for

365
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,960
a while. No, I don't
know if we're still all. I don't

366
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,039
know if we're not allowed to either. I think he just still thought got

367
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,759
to go about it a certain way
to get there. I also was like

368
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,839
when I was young, they I
wasn't. They didn't have really have me

369
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,279
learned Spanish either. It was just
like no everything. They didn't really want

370
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:03,359
to be be very cuban. Um
and you don't know Spanish. I don't

371
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,160
know span. I now I know
a lot better. I can understand it,

372
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,160
but speaking it is still difficult.
Have you gone like in your older

373
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,839
years, have you gone and asked
like the exact reason or uh, like

374
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,359
my grandmother has passed away, my
great grandmother's passed away, uh, and

375
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,519
just whatever little vague explanation I've been
to get able to get from my dad.

376
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:22,680
But it's just more now he's like, no, go go learn I

377
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,240
I what the fuck? Like?
Go whoops? So yeah, whoops?

378
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:30,759
My bad? Okay, So they
love you there. Maybe there's probably something.

379
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:33,400
There's there's something Cuban in there,
I think so. I think it's

380
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:38,240
the they're holding on to you for
eight seventeen point five. The options I

381
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,920
was given of a job career was
like medicine, an attorney, you know,

382
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,160
or something business where you can make
a lot. Less matter Jewish parents.

383
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,839
All right, so you you're eighteen. I did the same thing.

384
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,000
I said, Mom, I'm eighteen, I'm a grown up. I can

385
00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:57,039
make my own descent. I'm going
to wrestling school. She wanted me to

386
00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:00,160
go to college, and I did
have to. But then I also went

387
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,000
to wresting school because I'm eighteen.
Yeah, fine, I'll go to college.

388
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,720
But I'm a grown up. You
can't tell me what to do.

389
00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:07,599
But okay, you can also tell
me what to do as long as you

390
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,200
let me go to wrestling school for
my college. Okay, who do you

391
00:26:12,319 --> 00:26:15,440
find? Who do you find?
And how do you find? Oh?

392
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:18,759
Okay, So I am I think
at the time, I'm still seventeen.

393
00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:22,720
I'm not eighteen yet, and I'm
at a I have this little job,

394
00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:25,599
my first job ever, at a
at the mall, the Victoria Gardens,

395
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,599
And it's a little little kiosk outside
that sell in their courtyard that sells T

396
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,279
shirts and it was your Skin Industries. Those a god awful bro T shirts

397
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,359
like the naked women and it's just
so cringe bullshit. I sold all this

398
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:44,480
Inland Empire dog shit clothes. And
then slow day I had the computer and

399
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:47,960
I'm just on the Internet. I
went on world famous socalen censor dot com

400
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:52,319
and found Charles Mercury had posted something
on the most message boards about wrestling school

401
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:56,039
in Anaheim. So when I turned
eighteen, I went down there. Now,

402
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,599
were you a person that was going
to sokael like every day? I

403
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:04,160
was, Oh, so consensu.
I never posted, So I was never

404
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,720
a board guy that posted, but
I did. I would go to it

405
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,559
because I wanted to no events.
I wanted to look up events, and

406
00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:11,920
then I also wanted to see,
so you were you were going to indies

407
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,200
too? I started I was at
this point going to indie's. My very

408
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:18,799
first show i'd gone to was PWG
in Rosita, and then I went to

409
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:22,240
a couple more, and then I
started going to uh E WF nearby Jesse

410
00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:26,839
Hernandez's. I went to a couple
of Aws Spark Kapitski shows where I saw

411
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,519
Adam Pierce beat the shit out of
a little cholo with the Induba title.

412
00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:34,039
You could have put anybody in that, anybody, anybody. Yeah, And

413
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:38,319
I'll never forget that show because I
don't know what it was, but Pierce,

414
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,599
he spat, he spat this loogie
and it ended up right on my

415
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:47,359
friend Google's and I lost my mind
because I saw he was He's this white

416
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,400
guy said the real pasty skin and
his face just got red as a tomato.

417
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,279
And I'm just best show. And
Pierce could not give a five up.

418
00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:00,799
Yeah, it was seen him beat
up many audience members. Yes,

419
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,880
it was just nothing to laugh about
it, right, I'm all was laughing

420
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,920
out of sadness. Yes, I
feel he's changed his ways, but who

421
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,960
really knows at this point. I
love at him one of our favorites,

422
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:14,279
of course. Okay, yeah,
because I don't know. I'm always curious.

423
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:15,559
It's just like for me, it
was a little bit of like oh

424
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:19,400
the first like they say, do
your research, but I'm just like a

425
00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:22,119
wrestling school near me, I gotta
go. I did. I did do

426
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:26,359
my research. EWF was too too
much money for what I had at the

427
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,680
time. I was, you know, just that little job. And then

428
00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:33,359
uh, I don't know if you
was PW might have been gone, and

429
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,920
then I don't know if there was
any I don't think I found. Some

430
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,519
of the others that I found were
too too far and in other states,

431
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:45,119
and then just Charles Mercury was running
his academy up in junction with other academies,

432
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,119
so it was like you pay.
It was sixty bucks a month and

433
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:48,960
I could go to any one of
these classes. The only trainer I knew

434
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:52,119
of though, was Charles because he
was on PWG and he was doing all

435
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,640
the stuff around in the area,
so I did kind of do my research.

436
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:02,240
He also had Scorpio Sky and at
the time Ronan and Mister Excitement,

437
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,119
and then uh, he would have
a couple of others. I would come

438
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,319
through, like Scott Lost and Chris
Hero was there my first day. Cannas

439
00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:11,720
Lerey taught me my roles. Yeah, it was great. The young Bucks

440
00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:15,279
came through a couple of times and
like like rerolled around together. So he

441
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:18,319
had schools at different places. He
had just the one school in Anaheim,

442
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,640
but it was a part of another
It was a part of a jiu jitsu

443
00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:23,480
gym that also had other wrestling schools
that ran out of it. And it

444
00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:27,119
wasn't his ring. It was Food
Dogs Ring, Rest in Peace, Okay,

445
00:29:27,279 --> 00:29:30,440
Yeah, it was just it was
a local guy in the area and

446
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,079
Chris Hero was at your first day
of wrestling training. He was at my

447
00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:36,599
first day of wrestling training and I
was like, oh, this is cool,

448
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:40,720
but I couldn't learn anything from him
again because I don't know anything.

449
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,559
And Cannas Larey blessed her heart,
was very sweet to us. And you

450
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,319
know, she took me and my
friend Googles, who was training with me

451
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,319
at the time, took us away
from the other students, showed us our

452
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,160
roles, and then threw us back
in with the other students. Right,

453
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,240
have you ever told hero of that
story? H Like, there's I mean,

454
00:29:56,279 --> 00:29:59,359
there's no way he remember. I
don't think you'd remember. I haven't.

455
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,559
I don't have see I haven't run
into him a long time. I

456
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:03,960
don't talk to that man. I'm
tell him when I see him next.

457
00:30:04,039 --> 00:30:07,480
Yeah, I was very upset that
he didn't teach me. He was great

458
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:08,480
man. He was he was great
and having a lot of nice things to

459
00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:11,799
say, and he did help us, like with tweak our roles and stuff

460
00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:15,279
like that to fix him. So
that was really cool. So Charles Murkley

461
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:18,000
was your number one. But but
there is something, I mean, I

462
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:22,440
think PWG speaks for it, and
there's this like there is like a family.

463
00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:29,079
Well, I don't know. I
feel in Chicago everyone was fighting,

464
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:30,880
uh you know, like don't go
to this place, don't go to this

465
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,920
place, don't go to this place. But but but knowing that PWG started

466
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,599
with the six and you just saying
that everyone would just kind of come in,

467
00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:41,279
it does seem like everyone was kind
of like trying to help each There

468
00:30:41,359 --> 00:30:45,400
was a lot of people that did
want that camaraderie because it's like why why

469
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,480
have this weird tension. A lot
of schools did kind of have that energy,

470
00:30:48,519 --> 00:30:52,559
and there's still schools that do that
are currently still having that energy where

471
00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:55,279
it's like, you know, gang
gang kind of shit and it's uh,

472
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,799
it's corny, so corny bro.
Yeah, but it's nice that you could

473
00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:03,880
have all of these people, did
you would you recognize them because you would

474
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,200
go to local shows or the other
wrestlers or yeah, like the yeah you

475
00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:10,440
know mister excitement. I mean if
you don't know who he is, you

476
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,960
don't know who I knew all who
all these guys, Yeah, all these

477
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,799
guys. I had a I had
old old stuff, old footage too,

478
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,279
Like, uh, I went back
and watched a lot of old like Rev

479
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:21,720
Bro and stuff in the area,
and I just I knew all who all

480
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,680
these guys were. It was great. So Top Talwar was kind of So

481
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,279
when I get released from the WWE
in two thousand and nine, Dave Marquez

482
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:36,960
is starting up, uh, this
new Adventure Championship Wrestling from Hollywood in what

483
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,079
was the beautiful arena, the Galaxy, the Galaxy Galaxy, which I think

484
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,920
up W used to run. Think
so it's called the Observatory right now,

485
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:49,920
I think. Okay, Dave Meltzers, yeah, uh And so you and

486
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,599
I wrestle yep, yeah, and
we I think maybe even the first match

487
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,319
we were We were the very first
match of the entire program's existence. Yeah,

488
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,119
yeah, were with us? And
where? And I mean I know

489
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:05,759
you, I just remember you were
I don't know green, you were a

490
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:08,160
good ver, yeah, but you
were young but good enough that like,

491
00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:13,759
I don't know, I feel like
Dave, you know you had you couldn't

492
00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:15,599
be fresh out of wrestling school and
doing that position, right, And then

493
00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:21,200
I remember Adam praising you, Um, but where were you at your career

494
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,200
in that point? It was twenty
it was twenty ten when I think August

495
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:30,119
twenty ten when the show started.
I had my debut technically is November two

496
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,559
thousand and um an eight. But
I had like a single match and then

497
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:37,519
I didn't have another match until like
April two thousand and nine, so I

498
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,799
was like pretty much a rookie and
a half. Okay, yeah, well

499
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,839
but but when you got that second
match, then did you start putting?

500
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,599
Yes? Then I was consistent.
I was consistently getting booked. I had

501
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,240
two, three, four or five
and six followed pretty soon. You know

502
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:51,759
what I mean? How does that? How does that work? On the

503
00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:54,119
scene like that? How do you
I was This is when I started splitting

504
00:32:54,119 --> 00:33:01,279
myself between schools. When I came
I had gotten December two thousand and seven,

505
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,359
June to December was I was training
at the end of that. In

506
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,000
December, I broke my arm and
I was out for eight months because I

507
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,920
also had surgery to put a plate
in my arm and take the plate out.

508
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,720
When I came back to finally be
able to roll around again, Charles

509
00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:17,839
School's gone, so I went to
Aws School and EWF School and I was

510
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,519
just drive back and forth so I
can get multiple days of training at once

511
00:33:22,119 --> 00:33:24,119
Barts twice a week, and then
Jesse's once or twice a week, and

512
00:33:24,119 --> 00:33:28,920
then I just started excelling from there. And they're the promoters also yes,

513
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,759
and then I had a spot opened
up on a San Berdandino show in November

514
00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:34,480
and they're like, hey, you
want to wrestle, you have your stuff,

515
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,000
And I did have my stuff.
I called up I called up Sky

516
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:39,079
and put in a few of the
other trainers and I had to see if

517
00:33:39,079 --> 00:33:42,200
I can get their blessing, and
they said yes. I called Bart.

518
00:33:42,279 --> 00:33:43,839
I was like, hey, I
know I've been training at your thing.

519
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,079
We'd say I debut there. It's
a cool if I do it here,

520
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,039
go ahead, do your thing.
And then I think my second third match

521
00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:52,279
were at with AWS. And then
my sixth match ever I won the lightweight

522
00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:58,240
belt. I beat T J.
Perkins. Yes, okay, and then

523
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,759
I mean, listen, aw he
was obvious, Like the idea of like

524
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:07,000
starting up and getting it is obviously
I'm going to assume the highlight of like

525
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,440
yes, right, yes, absolutely, but yes, but what were what

526
00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:15,679
were some of those milestones like how
did you look at the t NA thing,

527
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:21,519
How did you look at like like
when what were the big big things

528
00:34:21,599 --> 00:34:24,320
where you were like, oh this
was this is a this was the next

529
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:30,400
step in my career. Uh,
I've always wanted to be a TV wrestler,

530
00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:32,840
so uh, our our match was
was a big deal for me because

531
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,679
I got to wrestle you and then
I got to also take that was aw

532
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,960
Hollywood. Yes, yeah, so
these are the milestones you just want.

533
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,320
Aw no, no, no no, I wanted before. Oh yo,

534
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,559
like yeah that, but I was
like, we wrestled because you and I

535
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:47,320
wrestled an aw it's probably my favorite
AW match. I don't know. That

536
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,920
was so much fun. But that
the our first match Chapionship Wrestling from Hollywood.

537
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,400
It was a big deal for me
because like your Colcabana, I was

538
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,559
nothing and at the you know,
at the fucking time. So I was

539
00:34:55,559 --> 00:35:00,360
like given that opportunity to wrestle a
star in my first ever television match,

540
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,679
and like that was a big milestone
for me. And then Impact was a

541
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,920
big one for me, even though
it was a big one for me too

542
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,280
because I was also in awful mental
health and in the worst physical shape of

543
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,079
my life. But it got me
a job, which is odd to me,

544
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,480
you know, like to be absolutely
the skinniest and in my end just

545
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:20,559
unhappy and depressed and I got a
job, so I was like, all

546
00:35:20,639 --> 00:35:22,480
right, let's do this and that
was good. That was that was?

547
00:35:22,639 --> 00:35:25,639
That felt good? Uh? And
what was it? Was like Furnam nor

548
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:31,599
Fernam and I just wrestled EC three
a bunch and then the Romans once and

549
00:35:31,679 --> 00:35:37,800
then what was the story then?
And I think it was EC three was

550
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,840
he was a Dixie Carter's nephew and
they were gonna hype him in his debut

551
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,880
against like a superstar athlete or whatever, and then here comes my little scritty

552
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,199
ass out. But how did you? Why are you the one? Were

553
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,800
they in LA So they were coming
out that way and they hit up a

554
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,920
wrestler in the area who started,
uh, you started asking around, just

555
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,440
find somebody in the p that he
was suggesting. He suggested Kevin Martinson.

556
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,320
He suggested, I think Yuma,
Johnny Yuma. And they're like, like,

557
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,360
too, they look too much like
wrestlers. We need a guy who

558
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,880
doesn't look like a wrestler. So
they suggested it's good old skinny boy pretty

559
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,599
Pete and they said that's it.
Yeah. But at that point, you

560
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,360
I feel you were doing had you
done PWG at them? Yes? Yeah,

561
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,920
so like yes, you're accomplished wrestler, Yes, I do. I'd

562
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,280
also shrunk physically, like in the
middle of my career, got even skinnier

563
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,880
than when I debuted and then I
like came back and it's just it was,

564
00:36:28,599 --> 00:36:30,519
it was just a weird time in
my life. Yeah, okay,

565
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,039
Yeah, Well, what you didn't
say doing a PWG show in your milestones

566
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,559
P TOWG, I'm gonna call you, I don't know p to BG even

567
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:40,239
as a milestone. It absolutely,
but it's it's kind of it got very

568
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:45,840
bittersweet towards the end, kind of
disappointing, um, because we we had

569
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,920
a lot of moment We had momentum
going in and I think we had a

570
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,760
lot of good matches, um,
But a lot of people didn't give the

571
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,360
same respect to the SOCO guys on
those shows that they did to all these

572
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:59,559
other fucking guys. Yeah. Yeah, including like and behind the scenes,

573
00:36:59,599 --> 00:37:01,039
there's a lot of just you know, guys kind of trying to punk us

574
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:05,320
and all that kind of shit.
Super Dragon was kind of a dick too

575
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,760
when it came to a lot of
us, and it's just like, yeah,

576
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,719
it is what it is. Yeah, Well, I mean but and

577
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,159
well I see your feelings now,
and I shouldn't have asked, but I

578
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,239
have no ill will I think,
I mean to think, I think are

579
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,480
cool. I've I've tried to I've
reached out to him, you know,

580
00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:22,599
but it is what it is.
Yeah, But I would imagine if you're

581
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:25,920
a young especially in that error,
well yeah, no, if you're a

582
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,239
young LA wrestler, Yeah, it's
the mecca. I would say at the

583
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,679
time, I don't know about now. Well, but I honestly don't.

584
00:37:31,679 --> 00:37:35,639
I don't know anything about wrestling now
either. I don't know the perspective of

585
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,039
certain indie wrestling like I know that
I think it still exists because some guys

586
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:42,760
that debut and haven't been there that
long or like stoked about it. Yeah,

587
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,000
so I guess good for you.
Yeah. And then did you do

588
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:51,840
WW stuff or just the enhancement stuff. I did enhancement stuff, and I

589
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:57,199
had a tryout in front of producers
at I think it was an Arizona one

590
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,960
that I was an extra at,
and they lay loved it, and I

591
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:05,280
was kept in mind for a job
on two or five Live. And then

592
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,400
I got contract here yeah here in
Germany added in Germany, yeah, aw,

593
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:14,840
yeah, And then any other like
any other things that like when I

594
00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:17,800
say about milestones that pop up before
you get that contract with AW, there's

595
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,920
a lot of TV stuff. China
was a big one. And then becoming

596
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:28,760
uh either writer and headed charge at
a Championship Press of Arizona, so having

597
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,320
like being in charge of an entire
new show. It was a regional broadcast

598
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:36,559
to Arizona, just in with Aaron
Phoenix, who Son and Yuma and just

599
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,760
to come in there. It was
only three years old too. We came

600
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,800
in and we really we changed the
scene. The first year of the show

601
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:47,159
was very difficult. So this Marquees
had had a hand. Did he did

602
00:38:47,199 --> 00:38:52,960
he take over something that was three
years old? Soo Marquees uh with Championship

603
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,039
Wrestling from Hollywood. He had then
started becoming this United Wrestling thing where he

604
00:38:57,159 --> 00:39:01,679
was trying to start up different cast
programs across the country and it's all become

605
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,480
like one big unit, one big
loop, you know. Yeah, the

606
00:39:04,559 --> 00:39:08,719
United Wrestling in Memphis and LA and
then Phoenix and uh the Arizona broadcast was

607
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,920
really the test for it. So
we had this this promoter that we worked

608
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,079
with in Tucson and we ran out
of the Desert Diamond Casino for about a

609
00:39:16,199 --> 00:39:20,519
year with this show, with this
TV show, and then we moved to

610
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:22,679
Phoenix in the last two years because
we lost the relationship with the casino and

611
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:28,119
that promoter. So that's why me
and my partner Mick Greenwood, we took

612
00:39:28,159 --> 00:39:31,920
over in charge of Arizona and we
turned it around just you. That was

613
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,280
me and Mick green Mick Greenwood,
Yeah, yeah, so the US too.

614
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,039
So we because I remember when Dave
and the Championship Wrestling from Hollywood Crew,

615
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:42,480
only because I was part of it
for so long, like they would

616
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,639
start like taking the bus over the
Arizona that so the very first show Marquez

617
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,719
went and then after that he never
went. It was just me and Mick

618
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,079
ran the entire show. Uh.
Mick would set up a lot of the

619
00:39:52,119 --> 00:39:54,920
stuff with the with the building,
the Nile Theater, and I would set

620
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,599
up a lot of the stuff with
the with the wrestlers, and we would

621
00:39:58,599 --> 00:40:00,400
write. We wrote the stories to
Geather and we made this the entire show

622
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:05,519
happen just the two of us.
Did this happen on purpose or did you

623
00:40:05,639 --> 00:40:08,639
seek this out? I don't on
purpose or did you seek it out?

624
00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:12,719
It kind of it kind of fell
on my lap. I've always been interested

625
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,159
in stuff, and I was already
kind of producing at the Championship Russell from

626
00:40:15,199 --> 00:40:17,519
Hollywood Show, and then when the
opportunity came up, David asked me,

627
00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:21,480
would you like to for you and
Mick to be in charge? I say,

628
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,079
absolutely, let's do it. Is
it an overtaken did you find was

629
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:28,039
it overwhelming? It was at first. This is the reason why I do

630
00:40:28,199 --> 00:40:30,039
none of Like people are just like, do you want to produce? Well,

631
00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:32,840
I do produce for a w when
I'm there, but or not for

632
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,960
Ring about Her. But like you
know, people are like, do you

633
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,599
want a book? Would you want
to promote? And it's just like,

634
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,760
like, I get paid nice money
to wrestle. It's ten minutes, Like

635
00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:45,119
I it seems so hard to just
overtake all of this stuff. I wanted

636
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:50,320
to. I just I guess I
wanted to have an over a complete resume.

637
00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:52,320
I want to know. It's like
when people say I Could'm all in

638
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,559
compass you, I could do it
all. I wanted to be not bullshit

639
00:40:53,679 --> 00:40:55,719
about it. I wanted it's like, oh, I've written, I promoted,

640
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,159
I've done this, I've done this, I've done this and it just

641
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:00,320
was a lot of fun. It
was stressful, it don't get me wrong,

642
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,679
but it was a lot of fun. And I really believe that we

643
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:07,440
changed that the Phoenix scene like for
the better. It got to the point

644
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,519
where the show would put itself together. We would pull up sometimes like an

645
00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:14,960
half hour late, and the entire
ring crew is there setting up the ring,

646
00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:17,639
the doors wide open, and like
the show is put together already because

647
00:41:17,639 --> 00:41:21,920
of like the relationship we built with
everybody in the area. So it's like

648
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,840
it started becoming not stressful at all. It was it was like a walk

649
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,960
in the park. We all looked
forward to going every month in this van

650
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:34,559
of Pylon's van to drive to Phoenix, just like a crew. It's five

651
00:41:34,679 --> 00:41:37,239
or six eight hours, eight hours, yeah, but it being it flew

652
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,239
by because we had the boys and
it was a lot of fun. Yeah.

653
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:43,400
And saw you said, you saw
the crew like grow wrestlers right immensely.

654
00:41:43,519 --> 00:41:46,000
Yeah. Man, everybody really got
a hang of what it was to

655
00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:50,440
be a TV wrestler. And I
noticed that big time when we did the

656
00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:54,559
extra work at the Phoenix WWE event, because all the other extras were my

657
00:41:54,719 --> 00:42:00,239
guys from from from the Arizona show
except for two of them, and then

658
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,239
those two ended up being paired to
do a match and the match was But

659
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:07,000
then all my guys in there had
hell of TV matches that even the producers

660
00:42:07,039 --> 00:42:08,320
were like looking at him, like, good job, good job. And

661
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,719
of course I'm patting myself on the
fucking back because me and Mick turned them

662
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,239
into TV wrestlers. You know,
do you think do you think about schools

663
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,039
and that kind of stuff, like
in your future? I had a school

664
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,519
I was. I guess that's another
one, another another milestone moment because it

665
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:29,280
I got to train David Arquette from
from the school hit Why are you not

666
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,360
telling me that? Yeah? That's
the fucking It was awesome. This podcast

667
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,800
is old. Shout out to David. It was. I ran the United

668
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,079
Russells Center in Oxnard, and I
would have classes twice a week. I

669
00:42:40,159 --> 00:42:43,800
had just an a bunch of people
come through, and but then I would

670
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:49,440
start just taking private, private lessons. H David Laghana suggested me to David

671
00:42:49,559 --> 00:42:52,559
Arquette about training. He called me, left me a voicemail. I'll called

672
00:42:52,599 --> 00:42:53,880
them back when he set it up, and he ultimately he bought a ring

673
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,880
put it in his yard and I
trained him at his house. Yeah,

674
00:42:57,599 --> 00:43:00,519
I mean, take that's so interesting. I don't know if there's like any

675
00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:05,679
more details of like was he just
explaining Hey, I mean I guess he's

676
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,480
done enough interviews, right. Oh
it was about his Uh it was this

677
00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:09,599
movie and everything he was trying to
talk. He told me about what he

678
00:43:09,639 --> 00:43:13,440
had in mind and what he wants
to do, and I said, yeah,

679
00:43:13,519 --> 00:43:15,719
let's do it. Did he have
fun stuff that you were just like,

680
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,840
you can't do that or I don't
you know. He was very respectful.

681
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:25,880
So he's respectful and he's cool,
like he's funny, and he's he's

682
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,039
oddly athletic, like I don't know
what. Like everyone was like is he

683
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:35,599
It was like, yes, yes, he's very oddly athletic. Like it

684
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,079
was awesome. It was a lot
of fun. Did you guys ever end

685
00:43:37,199 --> 00:43:40,679
up wrestling? We did. We
had we headlined a Championship Wrestling from Hollywood

686
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,760
show at the Urbine Improv. We
sold it, sold it out. It

687
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,320
was a very I think, our
very first show there. So I've had

688
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:51,400
line the Improv. But he his
first match was RJ right on our broadcast

689
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,840
when we filmed it. An Ox
start his match with first match on our

690
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,599
show? Was I just meant his
first match in general or was it or

691
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,880
was it in I think it was
J. I think it was r J.

692
00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:02,000
I think like I think like when
they announced like David's wrestling, Yeah,

693
00:44:02,039 --> 00:44:05,599
I think it was would he come
down and train with you guys or

694
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,199
are J? Yeah? I think
what I mean, you know, like

695
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,119
to put this match to get right
right? I think as we got closer

696
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,079
he came out here. I think
we I don't remember. I think like

697
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:17,559
the day of we did most of
that stuff and we might have had a

698
00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:21,639
rehearse. I don't remember. And
then so that makes me think of like

699
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:27,840
benefits of a Los Angeles wrestler in
the entertainment industry. Yeah, um,

700
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,679
did you do family feud? I
did? Yeah, So like and if

701
00:44:30,679 --> 00:44:35,079
it's just family feud, but I
don't know if there's other There has to

702
00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:40,840
be so many because it's Hollywood.
Yeah, and they're always asking like roles

703
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,199
of a wrestler, yeah, or
just weirder opportunities that people wouldn't get.

704
00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:49,440
I don't know, if you have
a list, did some extra work,

705
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,880
I've done some stunt work. I
met David Arquette on a set of of

706
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:57,360
a film before I actually trained him. Um, anything, I wouldn't know.

707
00:44:58,119 --> 00:45:00,000
No, I never got completed.
It's called Hank and the San Diego

708
00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:05,280
Twins and it never got fucking completed. Um. And then I was I

709
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:07,840
joined the stunt crew for a little
bit and we did a couple of movies.

710
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,920
It was one called I think it
was called Pandemic and it was like

711
00:45:10,039 --> 00:45:15,320
first person zombie movie and like in
in the trailer, I'm strapped to an

712
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:20,440
ambulance as a zombie just going.
Uh. So that was cool. I

713
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,920
got to do. I got to
fall off roofs with like a GoPro on

714
00:45:22,039 --> 00:45:25,119
my head and I got a shot
with a shotgun. So squibs were popping

715
00:45:25,159 --> 00:45:30,280
off of me and getting thrown over
cars and everyone thought I had been a

716
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,039
stuntman for years. I was like, this is my first day. It

717
00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:37,480
was easy and they're like what yeah. Yeah. And then to what was

718
00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:39,840
family? Few just uh, David's
family. That was our family, and

719
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,280
it was just it was four wrestlers. It was me, RJ. Dalton,

720
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,400
Castle and Jungle Boy and then David
and then we were against p Pee

721
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:51,199
wee Hermann's team. It was all
people from that had been on involved in

722
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,760
his show for a long time,
like Jack Harry was there, Drew Carey

723
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:59,639
jokes, Joe mag Magne, Yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah. Well any

724
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:04,679
even the idea of like we were
talking before before, is that Tom Kenny

725
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,679
SpongeBob as announced your matt, you
know, like even luchavavoom is I would

726
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,840
put in consideration of like this is
a holly. I was gonna also say

727
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,440
that's another milestone too, because I
got a job at Vavoom in the same

728
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,360
time I got a job at Tena
because of how shitty I looked at the

729
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,840
matt. I did a match at
Bavoom. I love avoom so much where

730
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,440
they they teamed me with Candice Larraine. She was like she was my little

731
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:28,039
girlfriend on the beach and on the
on the card in the back it called

732
00:46:28,119 --> 00:46:30,280
me the ninety pound Weekling, So
I was the ninety pound weekly to come

733
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:35,920
out with my little little blonde girlfriend. And then it was Cha Chay Caribrera

734
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,360
and SoCal under a mask and he
came out all big and he was called

735
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,960
monta Quia mask or something like they
know, butterface. And then he comes

736
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,280
over and he starts like kick sand
in my face, starts flirting with my

737
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,320
girlfriend. Then his big old chingo
and a girlfriend comes up. It's pointing

738
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,360
out, I'm what are you doing? Flirting? Flirting, flirting, and

739
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,519
then it turns into an inter gender
mixed tag match, and then the finish

740
00:46:55,599 --> 00:47:00,039
of the match was my girlfriend turns
on me to go joined up with Montequia

741
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:05,440
and then uh, we turned around
and me and the big thick girl beat

742
00:47:05,519 --> 00:47:08,119
them up and then we go leave
together. And that got you kind of

743
00:47:08,159 --> 00:47:10,000
a spot and it was a lot
of fun. Yeah, I got it,

744
00:47:10,039 --> 00:47:14,599
got me a consistent spot on Bavoom. I'm in the Sexy Mexis now,

745
00:47:14,679 --> 00:47:16,000
and then I do a bunch of
other bunch of other acts that she

746
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:19,519
has me do. Right, I'm
supposed to be on the one in October,

747
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,079
and I'm excited for that. But
that's the cool thing about that is

748
00:47:22,119 --> 00:47:24,639
just like I remember, you know, I love friend wrestling. I love

749
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,800
the weirdness. I love that,
you know, the wrestling at games kind

750
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,440
I think it is like, is
uh just a just a crazy thing.

751
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,599
You look back at Tommy Dreamer wrestling
at E three, you know, like

752
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
for easy w whatever, it is
like we're in the record books of just

753
00:47:39,159 --> 00:47:44,280
weird wrestling stuff and I remember being
like luch of them was coming Dichicago.

754
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,440
I was like, I gotta get
on the show. And you know,

755
00:47:45,559 --> 00:47:49,159
I know that like my name held
some value. I was in w but

756
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:51,679
they didn't give a fuck. And
when I pitched, like I was like,

757
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,519
oh, I also did this Matt
classic character for a wrestling Society X.

758
00:47:54,599 --> 00:47:59,679
They're like, oh, what is
that? The masked weirdness like let

759
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,840
score skies doing the Black President or
whatever. That was amazing. I got

760
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,079
to be a secret services there on
one of them. Yeah, and then

761
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,639
uh he was l presidental with a
secret Service and we had a match against

762
00:48:09,039 --> 00:48:12,159
It was Halloween times. We had
a match against like monsters, so we

763
00:48:12,199 --> 00:48:14,559
had a zombie, an alien,
and a bunch of others. You wrestled

764
00:48:14,639 --> 00:48:17,519
as a secret I wrestled the President
secret Service that's got black suit and glasses.

765
00:48:17,639 --> 00:48:21,199
Such a great show. I love
creativity and it's great, man,

766
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,480
It's so good. Um okay,
so then you know it leads you to

767
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:28,880
the aw starts. I guess we're
are you. You know a lot of

768
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,199
people were just like I think I
won't speak for you, but a lot

769
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:35,960
of people in wrestling until you know, I feel the young Bucks and Kenny

770
00:48:36,119 --> 00:48:39,960
like saved everybody. We're just like, well, I guess this is what

771
00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:44,880
it is, and we'll just do
our thing until whatever. And next thing,

772
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,400
you know, you know, with
a snap of the fingers, it's

773
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:51,199
like some some of all of our
friends are on national television. Yeah,

774
00:48:51,199 --> 00:48:52,039
it was. It was insane.
Is that? How do I mean?

775
00:48:52,119 --> 00:48:55,039
How does is that how it works
out for? It's just your Yeah.

776
00:48:55,119 --> 00:48:58,639
But then's like then the two or
five stuff came to me too, so

777
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,000
by that at the same time as
the a W stuff, So I had

778
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,480
to come had to come sooner.
I wouldn't have been in that and that

779
00:49:02,599 --> 00:49:06,039
brain, but I was kind of
in that brain too. It's like but

780
00:49:06,079 --> 00:49:07,079
it was a positive mindset. We
were. We were doing a lot of

781
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:09,599
cool stuff in the area with like
bar wrestling was still a thing at the

782
00:49:09,639 --> 00:49:14,840
time, and um I had started, I'd gone to like CZW and uh

783
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:15,960
I had worked in the Midwest a
couple of times, so I was like,

784
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,679
I think there's still potential here to
do something make some money. And

785
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,599
then I'm I'm now the Championship Wrestling, I'm Hollywood producing there and riding Arizona.

786
00:49:22,639 --> 00:49:24,119
So I'm like, oh, there's
potential there, you know, it's

787
00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:28,000
a real later and then uh and
then when AW does start, it's like,

788
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,000
Wow, now there's this is real, this is some and you're,

789
00:49:31,639 --> 00:49:37,159
yeah, I don't know what you
is it Tony's vision for a librarian?

790
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:43,880
Is that what it was? I
was told that all of this stuff by

791
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,719
I think it was the Bucks and
Cody. Cody had just slid in my

792
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:51,480
DMS at one point after working together
and said, hey, keep may may

793
00:49:51,559 --> 00:49:53,000
open. I said, okay,
and that's it. I just okay,

794
00:49:53,599 --> 00:49:58,239
and then um, I think CD
and Sky and all them kind of told

795
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,960
me what this idea was about the
librarian. It was Tony's idea, and

796
00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:04,920
then the Bucks had their own take
on it as well, and then uh

797
00:50:05,599 --> 00:50:07,480
yeah, then it just hear a
librarian. I kind of had to do

798
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:09,880
my own research to kind of figure
out what it was, because really it

799
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,559
was just like you say, shows
and that's how you get heat. Tony

800
00:50:13,639 --> 00:50:15,280
had one one idea of it,
the Bucks had one idea of it,

801
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:21,800
and then I tried to combine them
into something where we're also telling two different

802
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,320
stories. We have one story on
BT and then there's one story on the

803
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,519
air, and it got kind of
it got it got confusing sometimes, but

804
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:30,400
it was a nice challenge. Yeah, I mean, and like you're not

805
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,159
whatever you're You're the library and is
no longer a thing, right, but

806
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,400
sometimes like my dream was of just
like let's say, like when I went

807
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,639
to w B, like I was
like, man, if they just told

808
00:50:42,679 --> 00:50:45,239
me to, like you're the butcher
now, and you know, I was

809
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,719
in. I was in. I
wanted to. I was trying my damnedest

810
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,559
to be a librarian. I but
I was like Cracker and Jones, I'll

811
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:54,719
just scoping people go to the school, go to school, become a librarian.

812
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:59,360
Like I was researching what it did. I was reading more, you

813
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,360
know, I went and bought specific
clothes. I was trying to do it,

814
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:06,320
and I was I was gung ho, trying to be all in.

815
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,320
No pun intended, pun intended,
Yeah, yeah, well intended. I

816
00:51:09,679 --> 00:51:13,840
wanted to be completely all in for
this character. And I would have been

817
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,199
the like I would be if they
wanted me to be library now up until

818
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,800
the end, I would have done
it and I would have evolved it on

819
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:22,159
the way as you should, right, I am had I had maybe some

820
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,360
more help in developing what the character
was or where it should have gone.

821
00:51:24,679 --> 00:51:30,039
Then you know, right, but
then you have this crew now which I

822
00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:31,760
love, which is so fun,
right, I love the Wingman. Yeah.

823
00:51:32,119 --> 00:51:36,239
And then Jacksonville, like you know, there's something about being like a

824
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,039
wrestlers wrestler. Uh, it's just
when you when you're when you're popping the

825
00:51:40,159 --> 00:51:45,679
boys, I feel like you're that
you're doing it right, you know,

826
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,199
like not like a secret like,
but when the wrestlers are excited for people's

827
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,679
characters. Yeah, in my head, that's when you're doing the job correct.

828
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:58,239
I agree. And you know there
was like always a buzz about in

829
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,920
Jacksonville is just like how much the
wrestlers just love the Wingman. That makes

830
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:05,840
me happen. And you know it
came from kind of just a hodgepodge of

831
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,440
dudes, and it's just like I
think it was a hodgepadge of people that

832
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:12,880
everyone liked. Yeah, and like
we're hoping something and then it was nice

833
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,320
when it all comes together and I'm
sure you make some new friends and you

834
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,760
guys, we honestly the four of
us really connected and it's it's it's it's

835
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:22,280
really funny watching like them into rat
because it's like we have all been friends.

836
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,719
It seems like we've all been friends
for years. At a point,

837
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,480
you know, Big says there Big, you know, Big j D,

838
00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:30,159
and then me and themith dumbasses,
you know, yeah, and I don't

839
00:52:30,199 --> 00:52:34,840
know, like I you know,
says there had some stuff with his family.

840
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,440
And then also, like you know, you think about like a man

841
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,199
who moves his whole first of all, a man who looks like that,

842
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:44,119
Yeah, it should be the champion
of the war of the world. Yeah,

843
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,480
absolutely, And then he's got to
move his family back, so like

844
00:52:46,559 --> 00:52:50,320
it's all it's cool that there was
a spot. Yeah, and to really

845
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,079
get them to open up and learn
about them, like I says, Our

846
00:52:52,199 --> 00:52:57,360
is one of the greatest humans,
the sweetest dudes, and yeah, and

847
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,119
um and that's and here we are
today in Germany, right and this is

848
00:53:01,199 --> 00:53:05,320
my favorite fucking trip man, Like
I haven't. I've had a blast hanging

849
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,920
out with you, with Uno and
yeah, everyone in Helico CD. It's

850
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:13,000
great. Knox. You know you
you talked about going back a little bit.

851
00:53:13,039 --> 00:53:16,039
You talked about being you were in
your worst place. You were booked

852
00:53:16,079 --> 00:53:19,760
as a ninety pound man. Yeah, I mean, but you turned it

853
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,639
like, yeah, you look like
a wrestler, thank you. Yeah,

854
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,280
yeah, it was motivating that that
all that stuff kind of you let it

855
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:30,800
motivate you instead of just you know, fuck up. How was that turnaround?

856
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:35,039
Was it just like I gotta go
to the gym now, or I

857
00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:38,039
gotta start eating or yeah eat,
you just started eating. And it's still

858
00:53:38,039 --> 00:53:40,239
the hardest thing for me to do. But it's just sucking down. And

859
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:45,239
you're, brother, yes I am, that's the fan imagine. Yeah,

860
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:50,840
I've always been overactive thyroid when I
was a child. And yeah, though

861
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,079
you know, it's just about calories, right, it's just sucking about everything

862
00:53:53,199 --> 00:53:57,400
down. And then that's what I
struggle on these trips because I just I

863
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,400
have to, I think, travel
with like a ten pound bag of rice

864
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,840
on with me. You know.
Yeah, I'm the complete opposite my friend.

865
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,239
I Yeah, everyone when we talk
to when I talk weight to a

866
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:08,079
lot of people, they're like,
all, I wish I had your problem,

867
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:13,960
Like right, please don't say you
know, it's like it's sometimes I

868
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,000
feel like I look like a legitimate
stick figure, you know, but I've

869
00:54:16,039 --> 00:54:22,519
had that. I'm I'm self aware
enough where like I'm not always happy with

870
00:54:22,639 --> 00:54:25,800
it, but I but I do
always see the other side of the other

871
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:30,079
side of the body type of was
struggling that way too. It does make

872
00:54:30,159 --> 00:54:32,880
sense to me. You're self aware
and you're smart. That's why, right,

873
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,440
Well a lot, right, a
lot of people aren't. It could

874
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,079
drive into problems, right, that's
true. But I'm everything's looking good for

875
00:54:38,159 --> 00:54:42,239
you. Thank you, man um, thanks for doing this, Thanks for

876
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,679
having me. Yeah, you you're
okay with the mustache in real life.

877
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:51,079
I have been now, yes I
have. I've now tweaked it to how

878
00:54:51,079 --> 00:54:52,199
I like it. I didn't like
it at first. It was a little

879
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,599
too long on the sides and it
was like very I was like, did

880
00:54:54,679 --> 00:54:59,199
you grow out for sexiness or for
librarians? So I had just a shit

881
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:00,679
beard, this shit beard at the
time, and I was I had it

882
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,880
on Championship rustling from Hollywood, and
I was like, I need a shave.

883
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,920
This looks like shit. So at
the at the time, it was

884
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,480
at the Hollywood Towers, which was
Marquez lived in the front house and then

885
00:55:09,519 --> 00:55:13,840
there was a backhouse on the property
where I lived there. The director Billy

886
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,639
Trask lived there and some wrestlers lived
there, and I was shaving and I

887
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,480
had to. I just had the
mustache and I started laughing just how it

888
00:55:20,599 --> 00:55:22,400
looked. It was all long and
kind of whispy, and like, all

889
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,519
right, I'm gonna show Dave.
It was like huh, he goes keep

890
00:55:24,599 --> 00:55:27,239

the party. And then the reaction

was drinking drinks. I was like,

around. And then I started just making
